Purpose Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided random prostate biopsy is, in spite of its low
sensitivity, the gold standard for the diagnosis of prostate cancer. The recent advent of PET …

Purpose We propose two software tools for non-rigid registration of MRI and transrectal
ultrasound (TRUS) images of the prostate. Our ultimate goal is to develop an open-source …

Intra-operative visualization becomes more and more an essential part of medical
interventions and provides the surgeon with powerful support for his work. However, a …

The advent of three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound (US) has revolutionized prostate biopsy
procedures, allowing for fusion of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) derived targets with …

Background: Prostate cancer (PCa) has become a serious threat to the health of men in the
world. Combining the advantages of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and transrectal …

In tracked ultrasound systems, temporal misalignment between image and tracker data
results in incorrect image pose. We present a fully automatic temporal calibration. We image …

The fusion of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ultrasound (US) for targeted prostate
biopsy can solve the diagnostic dilemma of patients with repeated negative prostate …

Prostate cancer is one of the most commonly occurring cancers in males. Medical imaging
plays an important role in its early detection and treatment. Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) …

This thesis addresses several challenges associated with medical ultrasound in
interventional scenarios. The main contributions include novel image registration algorithms …

This thesis focuses on the development of visual computing techniques for advanced
medical ultrasound visualization. At first, techniques for improved 2D B-mode ultrasound …
